Day 3

Today I had another good interview, this time with AJC sports writer Doug Robertson. Doug covers Georgia State and Kennesaw State football for the AJC. I wanted to talk with him because I thought he could give an ousters perspective on the current state of the program. His responses to my questions were actually very similar to the responses I got from talking to Doug Justice yesterday. I talked to Doug about why he thought GSU got a football team and if he thinks their goals have been met so far. I also ask him what he thought the biggest challenges facing the program were and how GSU might solve them. He talked a lot about how the teams poor performance in the last few seasons has hurt them attendance wise, and talked about their future options for a new stadium. After I finished that interview, I had to transcribe it which took some time. I then had to get in touch with some other people who are helping with my project. After lunch, I spent my entire time transcribing yesterdays interview which was recorded. I hope to have that process finished up by tomorrow. Tomorrow I plan on finishing that and starting to work on the article now that I have all the interviews done. I may have some time tonight to read a little bit of, "The System."

  1. Seems like you've gotten off to a productive start, Nick! I'm excited that you're letting each interview lead to the next and expanding your understanding of things. Would be nice to get a taste of some things you're learning in your posts here. Perhaps a few highlights from each interview while they're fresh in your brain.
